Kindergartens

Towong Shire operates three kindergartens based in Tallangatta, Bellbridge and Corryong. Our kindergartens offer an innovative educational program featuring many child and adult initiated experiences in learning environments where children can manipulate materials and interact with other children. At kindergarten the aim is to learn about the competencies, interests and needs of each individual child and take them further with challenging activities and experiences, meaningful interactions, individual, small and large group activities.

We value and acknowledge the contribution the family has already made to the development of the individual child. We encourage the family to have input into their child’s kindergarten year through being involved in the program and being involved in the activities of the kindergarten and committee.

The kindergarten program addresses each child’s physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development through ongoing observations of the developmental progress of each child.

Council’s kindergartens are guided by the Education and Care Services National Law (2010) and Regulations (2011), the Early Years Learning Framework, National Quality Framework and the Child Protection Protocol.
